Eva Kokoschka
OMONT
At the age of 4, Éva received her first record player and developed a passion for vinyl records and their colorful sleeves. She learnt piano, flute and organ, but the austerity of the teaching and the lack of fun in the register got the better of her motivation. It was at the age of 18, at her first rave, that she discovered mixing and electronic music. She bought herself some turntables and a mixing desk, and off she went. For months she recorded her mixes on good old cassettes, which she listened to again to perfect her techniques. At the age of 22, she arrived in Paris and, while studying graphic design, criss-crossed the bars and clubs in search of dates to play. Then everything accelerated: she mixed every weekend and met a lot of people. One thing led to another and she became interested in production, releasing an EP on the Missive Music label and starting to play in clubs (the Nouveau Casino, the Batofar, the Java, the Folies Pigalle...). In 2010, she embarked on a short tour of Vietnam and the Philippines. The hectic pace of the night and the promises of projects that come to nothing exhaust her. She decided to devote herself fully to her profession: graphic design and photo retouching, which she practiced for 15 years, including 5 years working alongside photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Éva is curious and likes to evolve, and the world of fashion and luxury ends up disappointing her as much as the often superficial and destructive world of nightlife. Today, as a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapist, she finds fulfillment in caring for others. Yet she hasn't lost her taste for music, remaining an inveterate music lover, and it's with a certain detachment from notoriety that she takes up her records and drawings, with the sole aim of sharing her desires and musical deliriums.
